	While it's a bit tricky to quantify(what with the [[magic]], and all), the Course Books storyworld scores about a 4.5 on the Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness. By and large, it attempts to conform to the actual laws of physics, and the author frequently carries out exhaustive research. Often times the ~~fictures~~ you see in the story are real numbers, carefully calculated ~~based on~~ assumed values.
